Picture the Past

This photo from our region's past was submitted by Paul B. Williams of Poughkeepsie.

It shows Boy Scout Troop No. 16 in Poughkeepsie during a World War II-era parade, when the scoutmaster was Harrison Southwell Sr. Williams writes that the nearest Scout in the photo is Spencer McKinney, and that the parade is passing Barton Miller's Pontiac dealership. The troop met at Friends Meeting House on Hooker Avenue. Williams writes that he still has his Scout's neckerchief, which was purple and gray.
